Quality Control

Our 9,12,13-Trihydroxy-10,11-epoxyoctadecanoic acid is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets rigorous in-house specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all critical parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your R&D and production needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect stability and purity.
